This procedure illustrates a general method for the preparation of rearranged allylic amines from allylic alcohols.2,3 The method is experimentally simple and has been used to prepare a variety of allylic prim-, sec-, and tert-carbonyl amines as illustrated in Table I. The only limitation encountered so far is a competing ionic elimination reaction which becomes important for tri-chloroacetimidic esters of 3-substituted-2-cyclohexen-l-ols.3 4 The rearrangement is formulated as a concerted [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement on the basis of its stereo- and regiospecificity3,5 which are... 

The Overman rearrangement, a thermal [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic trichloroacetimidates, is an attractive procedure for the preparation of ally] amines from allyl alcohols (Eq. (4)) [7].

Allylic amines 54 have also been synthesised using the Mitosunobu protocol. Sen and Roach describe the formation of such amines from allylic alcohols 29 The phthaloyl group can be removed cleanly by hydrazine at room temperature, while for more bulky groups (e.g., nerol, famesol) phthaloyl cleavage was better effected with methylamine. Deprotection with methylamine was found to be exceptionally mild, and in substrates... 

Some nucleophiles other than carbon nucleophiles are allylated. Amines are good nucleophiles. Diethylamine is allylated with allyl alcohol[7]. Allylammes are formed by the reaction of allyl alcohol with ammonia by using dppb as a ligand. Di- and triallylamines are produced commercially from allyl alcohol and ammonia[l74]. 

Allyl imidate esters undergo [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangements to A -allyl amides. Trichloroacetimidates can be easily made from allylic alcohols by reaction with trichloroacetonitrile. The rearrangement then provides trichloroacetamides of iV-allyl-amines.176 177... 

Similarly, an intramolecular variant utilizing carbamates 26 derived from allylic alcohols has been developed using an amine like Hunigs base (ethyl diisopropylamine) as additive [21], The products were obtained with complete regio- and diastereocontrol, but surprisingly, only in racemic form when chiral ligands like (DHQ PHAL, being established for the AA, were employed. 

Other unsaturated substrate analogs that have been tried as enzyme inhibitors include allyl amine and allyl alcohol. Allylamine is a pseudo-irreversible inhibitor of flavin-linked monoamine oxidase i.e., in the presence of allylamine, the enzyme shows a time-dependent inactivation that cannot be reversed by dialysis. When radiolabeled allylamine is used, radioactivity is incorporated at the same rate as the enzyme is inhibited. However, inhibition is relieved and radioactivity is removed from the enzyme upon incubation with the substrate, benzylamine. 

The formation of stabilized imino-iodanes as nitrene precursors has been exploited widely in aziridination of alkenes. Traditionally, isolated iminoiodanes have been the preferred route toward transition metal mediated or catalyzed aziridination or C-H amination chemistry [33]. Despite the great success in this field, some reports have become available on the corresponding transition metal-free variants. For example, Padwa reported an iodine(lll)-mediated aziridination of some carbamates 43 from allylic alcohols that in situ formed the corresponding imino-iodanes. Unexpectedly, these compounds underwent direct aziridination to the putative tricyclic compound 44, which was subsequently opened by addition of suitable nucleophiles to arrive at the 1,2-difunctionalized product 45 in a completely stereoselective manner (Scheme 11) [34]. This transformation constituted the proof of concept that iodine(lll)-mediated aziridination does not necessarily require metal promoters. 

Exciplex formation initially prevented application of the method to compounds such as amines or alkenes which fail to undergo simple C-H homolysis with Hg. The method was therefore extended [22a] by running the reaction under H2 in which case H atoms are formed and either abstract H atoms directly from the substrate or add to C=C double bonds. The first makes it possible to dehydrodimerize amines, the second allows hydrodimerization of alkenes. In the alkene case, we do not get C-C bond formation at the weakest C-H bond as usual, but at the most substituted of the two vinyl carbons of the double bond. For example, n-alcohols tend to give 1,2-diols because the weakest CH bond is a to O (eq. 37), but unsaturated alcohols give other isomers, for example the 1,4-diol tend to be formed from allyl alcohols (eq. 38). 

Acetamides have been prepared in moderate to good yield from alcohols by reaction with acetonitrile and sulphuryl chloride. It has been found that the hydrolysis of nitriles to amides can be effected in excellent yield using potassium hydroxide in t-butanol if the amide produced is relatively insoluble in water. Experimental details for the large scale anodic oxidation of iV-formyl derivatives of amines to a-methoxyalkylamides have been recorded, and an interesting synthesis of trichloroacetamides from allylic alcohols via a thermal [Att + 2a] rearrangement has been described (Scheme 50). ... 

Deamination of the corresponding amine gives the allylic alcohol resulting from iQ dride shift as the main product and an increased amount of the cyclization product. 

Owing to the reversible nature of the allylic sulfenate/allylic sulfoxide interconversion, the stereochemical outcome of both processes is treated below in an integrated manner. However, before beginning the discussion of this subject it is important to point out that although the allylic sulfoxide-sulfenate rearrangement is reversible, and although the sulfenate ester is usually in low equilibrium concentration with the isomeric sulfoxide, desulfurization of the sulfenate by thiophilic interception using various nucleophiles, such as thiophenoxide or secondary amines, removes it from equilibrium, and provides a useful route to allylic alcohols (equation 11). 

Because the aziridine part of such a molecule can be obtained easily from a double bond system, these reactions constitute a method for converting allyl alcohols into allyl amines via aziridination. 

Aryl alcohol oxidase from the ligninolytic fungus Pleurotus eryngii had a strong preference for benzylic and allylic alcohols, showing activity on phenyl-substituted benzyl, cinnamyl, naphthyl and 2,4-hexadien-l-ol [103,104]. Another aryl alcohol oxidase, vanillyl alcohol oxidase (VAO) from the ascomycete Penicillium simplicissimum catalyzed the oxidation of vanillyl alcohol and the demethylation of 4-(methoxymethyl)phenol to vanillin and 4-hydro-xybenzaldehyde. In addition, VAO also catalyzed deamination of vanillyl amine to vanillin, and hydroxylation and dehydrogenation of 4-alkylphenols. For the oxidation of 4-alkylphenol, the ratio between the alcohol and alkene product depended on the length and bulkiness of the alkyl side-chain [105,106]. 4-Ethylphenol and 4-propylphenol, were mainly converted to (R)-l-(4 -hydroxyphenyl) alcohols, whereas medium-chain 4-alkylphenols such as 4-butylphenol were converted to l-(4 -hydroxyphenyl)alkenes. 

The selectivity in the Heck reaction of allylic alcohol 111 is interesting, and the factors that lead to the observed preference for (3-hydride elimination toward nitrogen in this system are unclear, although a combination of steric effects and stereoelectronic factors (i.e., alignment of C-H and C-Pd bonds, nN a c H interactions) is likely involved. Examination of related examples from the literature (Scheme 4.20) reveals no clear trend. Rawal and Michoud examined substrate 115, which lacks the influence of both the amine and hydroxyl substituents and also seems to favor (3-hydride elimination within the six-membered ring over formation of the exocyclic olefin under standard Heck conditions [18a]. However, under... 

An important variant for transition metal-catalyzed carbon-nitrogen bond formation is allylic substitution (for reviews, see1,la lh). Nucleophilic attack by an amine on an 7r-allyl intermediate, generated from either an allylic alcohol derivative,2 16,16a 16f an alkenyloxirane,17-19,19a-19d an alkenylaziridine19,19a 19d, or a propargyl alcohol derivative,21,21a 21d gives an allylic amine derivative.
